Personally, I had problems with hormonal birth control and it took a little experimentation and working with a different OB/GYN to find the right method of birth control for me.
I ended up using a plain copper IUD. Yes, the insertion was painful, but not that bad, and nowadays, you can ask your doctor for a local anesthetic (not an option back then). The first couple of months, my cramping was worse than usual, and bleeding was heavier. But after that, things went back to normal. Worked great!
